The look is very uplifting.

If he turns it around the right way it is ricey at best. I think this one sells for $200 on eBay.

You don't put soy sauce and wasabi on pure rice, much less pure uncooked rice. Disgusting.

Based on the way the wing is angled an the concave shape, I would assume that the flow over the top of the wing separates at the leading edge and therefore generates almost no force on the top surface.
The bottom surface probably does generate some lift though. I am making this assumption based on the fact that it looks like the leading edge and trailing edge are the same height and that the wing has convex section between them.

My question is why not install it correctly or at the very least angle its towards the direction of flow correctly? Its whatever though, I would expect to see a lot of FR-S's looking like this in then next 10-15 years.

If you could see the front of his car, you'd notice he has one of these!

Why?

I've seen my fair share of riced out FR-Ss / BRZs and wouldn't be so quick to default Honda Civics as being for "ricers".

yeah it wouldn't create lift the way an airplane wing does, instead it would create a massive amount of drag. this equates to putting a large airbrake on the back of your car.
